Oh So Happy!

Seriously, I LOVE my internship! For a while I was worried about how I would get credit for it. I knew I could make it happen, but I just knew it would take A LOT of work, and that it would cost A LOT of money to receive ONE credit ($800 + to be exact). So when the Senior Editor returned today from her mini-vaca, I talked to her and told her about my predicament. It turns out that I DON'T have to get credit for my internship! Instead, I'll be getting paid--woo! I told her that I would still work for free, but she insisted that I get paid! She said, "You'll have a lot of time to work for free in this industry, and I don't want you to start now." Yea, she's pretty awesome.

Moving on, two days ago Couture Salope did a post on Breaking Fashion Rules. The Fashion rule I broke today wasn't on her list, but I consider it a rule and/or a faux pas. I was in a rush this morning to catch my train into the city, and I didn't put on a strapless bra. Thus, my cute checkered tank was ruined by the unsightly view of my bra strap. So this got me thinking as to if it is it really taboo to have your bra strap showing through your tank and/or tube top. Is it? Oh well, I don't care if I committed a faux pas because I'm as happy as a bird!

  9. Hi dear ))) I don't think it is a kind of ban... sometimes it looks hot and sometimes just out of turn.

    Hugs from Angel.

  18. For me visible underwear is only okay if it is very intentional and the item is pretty (printed/lacy/etc)...otherwise it reminds me of when you have something stuck in your teeth and everyone is too embarrassed to tell you! Just my thought...
    And no, I didn't fall when I wore geta. You just have to take tiny steps and they way they bind you up in kimonos really helps with that!

  19. You landed in internship heaven! Sweet deal.

    I see the visible bra strap everywhere. It's practically a fashion statement now.

  23. Somehow I think it is pretty sexy to show off your bra strap?! Sometimes I wear racerback tops & forget to wear the correct bra too! =/
